Abstract: A solar concentrator comprises a pair of concentric reflectors having a spindle toroid geometry for focusing the collected solar radiation into a ring-shaped focal area, as opposed to the "point" or "line" focus of prior art configurations. In a preferred embodiment, each reflector is formed of a plurality of curved petals that are disposed in a contiguous, keystone arrangement that requires no additional fixturing to hold the petals in place. Such an arrangement reduces the weight, complexity and cost of the final solar concentrator structure.

Abstract translation: 与现有技术配置的“点”或“线”焦点相反，太阳能集中器包括具有主轴环形几何结构的一对同心反射器，用于将收集的太阳辐射聚焦成环形焦点区域。 在一个优选的实施例中，每个反射器由多个弯曲的花瓣形成，这些花瓣设置在连续的梯形布置中，不需要额外的固定就可将花瓣保持就位。 这种布置减少了最终太阳能集中器结构的重量，复杂性和成本。
